Be willing to let go of something old and grab on to something new

Sometimes you have to be willing to let go of something old
to grab onto something new. You have to be willing to let a part of you die
that you used to be comfortable with in order for another part of you to be
born. Lisa Nicols

I was thinking today about how things really happen when they are supposed to happen - ok when you are ready to receive or when you need it, not when YOU THINK you need it, when you actually and really really do need it! So if you aren't ready to receive or not ready for a different perspective, no amount of forcing, pushing, begging and pleading will make it happen! What is for you is for you and it happens in divine timing, All of that is to say this, when I was going through my denial of how my life was crashing over a cliff, and the proverbial shit was hitting the fan, I sat down one day and said " What exactly do you want? What exactly would I want given the situation that I cannot control?" It took me two weeks to answer myself but after that time I knew I wanted to serve a purpose instead of making profits for a corporation that just cared more about money and less about people.

Part of wanting what I now wanted three years ago sent me to see someone, who is now a mentor, at his offices in Port of Spain, he took one look at me and said do you know what is your purpose? I didn't have a clue what he meant at the time, all I know was that I wanted to work with him. We kept talking and I never worked for him, now 3 years later I'm minding my own business and I get a call, come work with me for the rest of the week I need you all day Wednesday, Thursday and Friday! What?? 3 years later? I will be there bright and early! Nothing before it's time!

So just thought I would share that
Get ready, be ready to receive, be clear about what you want and see how things fall in place! Sounds simple but hey, most things are, we just make them complicated!
Peace!!

even if you are a small forest surviving off of moon alone.
your light is extraordinary. — reminder. nayyirah waheed. I
finished eating the plate of posho and spinach. She asked me, “Why do you play
small?” my first reaction was that she
was talking about my weight. I responded, “I play small because I work out” and
I chuckled. She gave me a blank stare! “Do you know that
you have a responsibility to yourself, to your ancestors, to your spirit?” Ok
now it was getting serious, now it was time for me to pay attention. “What do you mean?” “It
is your responsibility to excel, to glow, to do what you know you can do. “It
makes no sense holding it all back! What are you saving it for? Why do you give
one single thought to what other people think? Those who are for you and what
you stand for will remain, the rest are passing through on your journey, leave
them, and continue along your path! Please,
honour your responsibilities, your purpose and your ancestors. There is no way

Any public issue will get to your private door eventually. If we are messing with the environment it will eventually affact you and so the list goes on. Marianne Willamson

There is so much going on in the world right now, from hurricanes wiping out islands, to leaders who respond like they aren't leading, to mass shootings, to killing black folks and the list goes on and on till the break of dawn
It is enough to get one disjointed, disappointed and anxious. Truth be told I am at that point. Wht next? I have decided that I must contribute to the solution, I have no clue what THE solution is but I know what my solution is- to be the best me, to make where I am better than when I found it, to stop being selfish, to live as though there are other people and living beings on the planet. Simple things I am starting with
recycling - there is no obvious and convenient ways to recyle where I live
using less plastic bags
giving to charity both financial and time
be my best - do my best - be…

Naïve vulnerability
thinks: If I try hard
enough to be heard, I’ll get what I want.
Awake vulnerability thinks: This
is hard work. I have no idea what will come of this. I’m showing up anyway.
